Tips for travelling Europe in winter

Bring a (very) warm jacket, waterproof shoes and dancing shoes – but don’t pack more than you can carry (about 15kgs is comfortable).

You can never visit too many Christmas markets – get amongst them.

Take advantage of fewer queues and tick off the big stuff (cue the Louvre, Anne Frank Haus, the real David).
